Great book...really make you think about what it means to be literate in today's world. Offers great tools and ideas to use within the 21st century classroom!

One quote I love is..."Educators should seek to intergrate literacy, rather than intergrate technology. If we can rethink what it is to be literate in today's information environment, and intergrate that, then the technology will come." p. xiii

The face of education is changing, and David Warlick gives a voice to this change. He has done a great job with explaining the evolution of teaching, and learning, and how we need to adapt to meet the future needs of our students.
